This is where people rather use a snipe service. To each his own.
This has been discussed numerous times and Ebay does nothing.
This is why folks want harsher restrictions on retractions

A bid retraction=cancelling your bid

A snipe service will place a bid for you with seconds left in the auction.

Just under 4 hrs left and still the same number of bidders and the same price.

Curious if it sells?

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
When most guys today
Who're buying 8s today
Are just crazy rich mofos
